London, May 15.—The greatest secrecy is maintained regarding Count Schouvaloffs visit. Many versions are current in St. Petersburg and elsewhere. The Times special from San Stela no says: All troops will move with in a few days into camp, on rising ground ten miles and a halt nearer Constantinople. " St. Petersburg, May 15.—1 tis rumored England is sending 30,000 men from India to Lake Yan, to threaten the Russian in the Caucaons. PitiLADEi.ru ia, May 10.—The Worth American announces that the iron steamer State of California, launched here to-daylias been purch ased by Russia, and the first payment •of £IOO.OOO in gold made. Bradford, Pa., May 10.—Anoth er heavy frost destroyed all the fruit in the valleys last night. London, May 17.—A dispatch to Reuter’s from St. Petersburg says: It is believed that Count Schouvaloff has succeeded in con vincing the Emperor that it is to Rus sia's interest to concede to Europe most of the demands formulated by England. The assembling of a Eu ropean Congress consequently ap pears assured, despite the difficulties which have arisen at Constantinople concerning the surrender of the fort resses. A dispatch from Pei a iu the second edition of to-day’s 'rimes says : “A1 though the advance of the Russians four kilometres nearer to Constanti nople is declared to be devoid of sig nificance, the movement has never theless increased the uneasiness here. The Russians, instead of being clus tered in villages, are extended before the city. News is also received ot the advance of fifteen thousand troops from Kaldikrati to Kalchuk Tchek medje, and of similar forward move ments from Silenia to Kallikrati, and other corresponding advances from the rear toward the front. All these movements tend to mass the Russians closer to Constantinople. " W ashing TON , May 17—Professor Spencer F. Hard, to-day, was elected secretary of the borad of regents ol the Smithsonian Institute, m place of Professor Janies Tlcnry, deceased. London, May 18.—A Reuter tele gram, dated Constantinople, May 17, says: A regiment of Cossacks ad vanced by the Turkish lines near Bel grade, yesterday, and summoned the Turks to withdraw towards Buyuk ctere. The Turkish officer replied that he must apply to the Porte for instructions before doing so. The Porte has also received advices that the Russians are advancing nearer Gallipoli. The Russians insist on these movements for hygcnic rea sons. " The news from Constantinople has the tendency to check the optionist conclusions. The news is not fully credited, but it is thought if true, Todlehen’s demauds will be over ruled at St. Petersburg, now that peaceful views prevail. Though Tod leben's demand is not in the nature of an ultimatum, it brings a strong pressure to bear on the Porte. Great alarm exists in Constantinople; but the attack on the city or a forcible occupation of the whores of the Bos phoras is discredited as the liussiau minister presented his credentials to the Sultan to-day, and had an appoint ment to meet the British minister' Tuesday. The Times says the war has already cost Russia 1100.000,000. Washington, May 18.—In the House to-day the army appropriat ion was.discussed.
